What is Bendable Concrete: Properties and Applications about?

Bendable concrete, also known as Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), is a fiber-reinforced concrete that is highly ductile and flexible. ECC can deform over 3% strain without fracturing, unlike conventional concrete which is brittle and cracks at 0.1% strain. It incorporates microfibers that allow stress transfer between fibers and cement matrix after initial cracking. Literature on ECC discusses mixtures using fly ash and silica fume to increase strength and ductility. Studies evaluated properties li
